Adams caught two of three targets for 26 yards in Thursday's preseason opener against the Eagles.

Analysis: Adams moved the sticks with an 18-yard catch during the first quarter, but his involvement was understandably limited to three series to start off the exhibition slate.

Adams enjoyed a healthy offseason and is embracing more of a leadership role, Wes Hodkiewicz of Packers.com reports.

Analysis: Adams was severely limited by an ankle injury in the NFC championship game, drawing only three targets while playing 40 percent of the offensive snaps. Unlike his knee injury the previous year, the ankle issue didn't linger into the offseason and impact his preparation in the spring. With his role secure and his body in tip-top shape, Adams is targeting the 1,000-yard mark after falling just three yards shy last season. While unlikely to convert 16 percent of his catches into touchdowns again,…read more

Adams caught all three of his targets for 16 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's loss to the Falcons in the NFC championship game.

Analysis: Adams suited up Sunday, despite carrying an ankle sprain that kept him sidelined throughout the practice week. According to ESPN's Rob Demovsky, Adams admitted his ankle caused him pain during the entirety of Sunday's loss, when he played just 40 percent of Green Bay's offensive snaps. Despite that reduced role, Adams still managed to score the Packers' first touchdown of the game with a two-yard reception to begin the third quarter. On the whole, Adams' ability to find the end zone elevated…read more

Adams (ankle) is listed as active Sunday against the Falcons.

Analysis: Rehab of a left ankle sprain dominated Adams' week, but the wideout nonetheless upheld the expectation that he'd be available for the NFC championship game. A setback aside, he'll be working within a pass offense beset by injuries to Geronimo Allison (hamstring) and Jordy Nelson (ribs).

Slated to play Sunday

Adams (ankle) is slated to play in Sunday's NFC championship game in Atlanta, Ian Rapoport and Stacey Dales of NFL Network report.

Analysis: As preparation for this contest unfolded, the Packers faced the prospect of having three of their top four wide receivers on the sideline Sunday. Instead, Aaron Rodgers will have Adams, Jordy Nelson (ribs), and Geronimo Allison (hamstring) at his disposal. Adams was held out of each practice this week due to a left ankle sprain, but even he admitted Thursday that this particular injury wasn't in the same realm as the one from last season. In any case, it's difficult to project his potential…read more

Questionable for Sunday

Adams (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's NFC championship against the Falcons.

Analysis: Adams' sprained ankle has kept him sidelined since last Sunday's win over the Cowboys, which was the expectation set forth during coach Mike McCarthy's opening press conference of this week. With fellow wideouts Jordy Nelson (ribs) and Geronimo Allison (hamstring) both banged up, the Packers couldn't afford to risk Adams' health by having him practice. According to the receiver, his current ankle problem isn't as bad as the one he carried last season, and despite his questionable tag, Adams is…read more

Will have chance to play Sunday

Head coach Mike McCarthy said Friday morning that Adams (ankle) will be given every chance to play in Sunday's NFC championship game.

Analysis: Adams has not practiced this week, but it was reported Thursday that he is expected to play Sunday, and McCarthy's comments Friday morning reiterate that belief. Adams' participation, or lack thereof, in practice Friday and Saturday figures to ultimately determine his availability for Sunday's contest.

No practice Thursday

Adams (ankle) was a non-participant in practice Thursday.

Analysis: Adams upheld his standard from Wednesday, instead focusing his efforts on rehabilitating his balky ankle. After Thursday's session, the wide receiver told Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com that this particular sprain doesn't approach the severity of the one that afflicted him throughout the 2015 season. No matter, Adams will have to show his ankle can handle the rigors of his position, which could come down to a game-time decision. On a positive note, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network relayed Thursday that…read more

Adams (ankle) is expected to suit up for Sunday's NFC championship game in Atlanta, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. "We're going to give them the whole week," head coach Mike McCarthy told Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com on Thursday. "I'm not really concerned today. We'll hopefully have a better gauge if we think these guys [Adams and Geronimo Allison] are going to make it."

Analysis: In the aftermath of Sunday's divisional-round win at Dallas, Jordy Nelson (ribs) boasted the only known injury within the Packers' receiving corps, but Wednesday's practice revealed otherwise, with Adams and Allison (hamstring) focusing on rehab instead. While Rapoport's report is clearly a positive sign for the upcoming availability of both Adams and Allison, bumping up to limited or full before week's end would be the best indication that the duo is trending toward active status.

Analysis: And the hits keep coming for the Packers' receiving corps. First, Jordy Nelson suffered multiple rib fractures in the wild-card round and was unavailable Sunday at Dallas. In the latter victory, Adams' left ankle was rolled up on during his final catch of the game. Both wideouts will begin the week of prep with the rehab group, per McCarthy, but a decision on Adams' availability could come down well before this Sunday's kickoff in Atlanta, as it did for Nelson last Friday.

Adams secured five of 10 targets for 76 yards in Sunday's 34-31 divisional-round win over the Cowboys.

Analysis: Adams looked like he might have suffered a potential season-ending leg or ankle injury in the second half after coming down awkwardly on a tackle. However, the third-year receiver was able to return to the game, and served as Aaron Rodgers' most targeted receiver and second-most targeted pass catcher on the afternoon. With Jordy Nelson's (ribs) status up in the air for the conference championship, Adams stands a chance of once again serving as the defacto No.1 wideout against the Falcons.…read more

Adams is listed as one of the Packers' two starting receivers for Sunday's game against the Cowboys, NFL.com reports.

Analysis: Adams was already essentially functioning as a starter with the Packers frequently utilizing three-wideout sets, but he should see a slight snap and target increase with Jordy Nelson (ribs) set to miss Sunday's game. The 24-year-old came up huge for the Packers in their 38-13 win over the Giants in the wild-card round, hauling in eight of 12 targets for 125 yards and a touchdown.

Adams caught eight of 12 targets for 125 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 38-13 win over the Giants.

Analysis: Adams led the team in targets, receptions and yards in this one, finding the end zone from five yards out to get his team on the board in the second quarter. Jordy Nelson was lost to injury in the first half, and Adams clearly had no trouble stepping into a lead role while displaying his typical rapport with a red-hot Aaron Rodgers. He will likely play a large role regardless of Nelson's health next week against the Cowboys, but he could see even more looks if the latter is forced to sit out.

Adams caught six passes for 31 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's victory over the Lions.

Analysis: Sunday's game marked the fourth time in five games that Adams failed to top 44 receiving yards, but he still made up for his minimal production in that category by reaching the end zone two times for the third time this season. Adams missed his first 1,000-yard campaign by just three yards, but he still had a breakout year, tying two other players -- Antonio Brown and Mike Evans -- and finishing behind only teammate Jordy Nelson for second in the NFL with 12 receiving touchdowns.

Adams caught four of seven targets for 44 yards and a touchdown Saturday against the Vikings.

Analysis: Adams took a backseat to Jordy Nelson on Saturday, but still found the end zone for the ninth time this season. He could've doubled his production -- at least -- had he not dropped a long bomb from QB Aaron Rodgers in the second half, though. Especially with Randall Cobb (ankle) dinged up, expect Adams to continue to serve as a focal point in the Packers' passing attack in Week 17.

Adams had two receptions for 25 yards in Sunday's victory over the Bears.

Analysis: Adams could have had a much bigger day than he did Sunday, but he dropped a would-be score in the end zone on two separate occasions, and instead did not do much for those that included him in their Week 15 lineups. Adams was targeted six times for the ninth straight game and has alternated strong outputs with minimal ones over the last six weeks, so there is reason to believe he could bounce back in Week 16. In that contest he will face a Vikings defense that has done a good job shutting down…read more

Posts 100 yards and a score on Seattle

Adams caught four of six targets for 104 yards and one touchdown Sunday against the Seahawks.

Analysis: Adams bounced back from a modest effort against the Texans and eclipsed the 100-yard receiving threshold for the third time in five weeks Sunday in Lambeau, an impressive showing considering the Seahawks rank top-10 in the league in passing yards allowed per game. There may be no slowing down either; Adams travels to Chicago in Week 15 to take on a secondary that allowed him to post a historic night in Week 7 to the tune of 13 receptions for 132 yards and two touchdowns.

Adams caught one pass for 17 yards in Sunday's victory over the Texans.

Analysis: Adams was coming off a monster 113-yard, two-score effort in Week 12, but he was kept quiet by a stout Texans pass defense that did not allow any Packers receiver other than Jordy Nelson -- who did have a healthy 118 yards -- to tally more than 19 yards in Sunday's snow-filled game. On a weekly basis this season, Adams has produced more often than not, but he will be challenged to put up useful fantasy numbers again in Week 14 by a Seattle defense that has allowed opposing wide receivers to…read more

Adams caught five passes (on six targets) for 113 yards and two touchdowns Monday night against the Eagles.

Analysis: Adams was excellent once again Monday, as he started the Packers off with a 12-yard touchdown reception on their first offensive drive before securing a remarkable 20-yard, back-of-the-end-zone grab on Green Bay's following series. After those first-half heroics, Adams hauled in a game-long 50-yard bomb during the second half. In leading the Packers in receiving yards Monday, Adams has now topped the 110-yard mark three times over his past six outings, a span in which he's also registered five…read more

Adams caught three passes for 42 yards in Sunday's loss to the Redskins.

Analysis: Adams caught a 37-yard pass in the contest but was otherwise barely heard from on the day. The low Week 11 output was an outlier in what has been a productive season for Adams, and he will have a chance to get back on track in Week 12 against an Eagles team that has had trouble stopping opposing wide receivers of late.

Adams caught six of nine targets for 156 yards in Sunday's 47-25 loss to the Titans.

Analysis: Adams gained yardage in chunks, averaging a robust 26.0 yards per catch. Jordy Nelson was quarterback Aaron Rodgers' clear favorite option with 18 targets, but Adams slipped in right of ahead of Randall Cobb (eight) and Richard Rodgers (seven). The third-year wide receiver has established himself as a dangerous weapon in this pass-heavy attack with 35 catches for 403 yards and three touchdowns over the past four weeks.

Adams caught four of seven targets for 41 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-26 loss to the Colts.

Analysis: Adams had just two catches for negative yardage late in the second half, but hauled in a 40-yard reception and short touchdown on the same drive midway through the fourth quarter. Ty Montgomery and Randall Cobb both returned Sunday, so Adams came back to earth a bit, after grabbing 25 passes the previous two weeks, which established the Packers' all-time record for the most receptions in any two-game span. Next up for Green Bay will be the Titans in Tennessee.

Adams reeled in 12 of 14 targets for 73 yards in Sunday's loss to Atlanta. He fumbled during the contest.

Analysis: Adams did most of his damage near the line of scrimmage on Sunday, but still racked up a double-digit reception total for the second straight week. Adams has been targeted 30 times in the past two weeks, more than his previous five outings combined. Randall Cobb was out this week and Jordy Nelson was held mostly quiet in Week 7. It will be interesting to see what happens to the former second-round pick's production once both are firing on all cylinders, but he has earned a steady flow of…read more

Adams (concussion) tallied a career-high 13 catches on 16 targets for 132 yards and two touchdowns in Thursday's 26-10 win over the Bears.

Analysis: In a true out-of-nowhere performance, Adams led all receivers on the night in receptions, yardage and targets while impressively bouncing back from a concussion suffered just four days prior versus the Cowboys. He also added two more scores to his burgeoning touchdown resume, hooking up with Aaron Rodgers for a go-ahead five-yard score late in the third before connecting with him for a second time from two yards out to extend the Packers' lead to 20-10 early in the final period.

Listed as active Thursday

Adams (concussion) is listed as active Thursday against the Bears, Jason Wahlers of the Packers' official site reports.

Analysis: Despite a limited amount of time to complete the concussion protocol, Adams has done just that and will thus suit up in this divisional clash. Coming only fours days from the Packers' last tilt, an aggravation of the head injury isn't outside the realm of possibility, but he could be poised for an expanded target count in an offense that's characterized by a patchwork backfield with Eddie Lacy (ankle) and James Starks (knee) on IR.

Published: Thu, Oct 20 at 3:58pm by Rotowire.comMore news and analysis available atNFL.com

Analysis: Considering he turned in one limited practice this week, Adams likely hasn't completed every step of the protocol for head injuries. On the other hand, the Packers have deemed him questionable, so he may in fact be a game-time call. An absence would place Ty Montgomery and rookie Trevor Davis more in Aaron Rodgers' crosshairs.

Adams (concussion) did not practice Tuesday.

Analysis: Adams was unsurprisingly listed as a non-participant for the second straight day, after suffering a concussion in Sunday's loss to the Cowboys. His chances to avoid an absence would be much better if the Packers weren't on a short week ahead of Thursday's game against the Bears. Should Adams miss the game, Ty Montgomery and Jeff Janis would be the top candidates to absorb his usual snaps, though Montgomery may be needed in the backfield.

Adams is listed with a concussion on the Packers' injury report estimation ahead of Thursday's game against the Bears, ESPN's Rob Demovsky reports.

Analysis: Adams said he was cleared by concussion evaluators after Sunday's loss to the Cowboys, but his placement on Green Bay's estimated report suggests he did suffer a concussion. As a result, the wideout should be hard-pressed to be available for Thursday's game against the Bears. If Adams is indeed sidelined, Ty Montgomery, Jeff Janis, and Trevor Davis could see more snaps than usual, with Montgomery serving as potential help in the Packers' backfield as well given the injuries to Eddie Lacy…read more

Adams said after Sunday's loss to the Cowboys that he cleared concussion evaluation, ESPN's Rob Demovsky reports.

Analysis: Adams was knocked out of Sunday's game during the third quarter, and although he never returned to the action, he apparently was cleared by doctors. That suggests he didn't suffer a concussion, which bodes well for his availability going forward, but his status should probably still be tracked ahead of Thursday's game versus the Bears.

Adams has left Sunday's game against the Cowboys to be evaluated for a concussion, Michael Cohen of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Analysis: Upon his departure, Adams had hauled in two of three passes for 34 yards. If he indeed enters the protocol for head injuries, his practice reps will undoubtedly be impacted this week.

Adams caught five passes for 85 yards and a touchdown on eight targets in Sunday's 23-16 win over the Giants.

Analysis: Adams now has three touchdowns in four games, but this was the first time he's provided a well-rounded stat line to go with the score. He had either two or three catches in each of Green Bay's first three games, posting yardage totals of 50, 26, and 23, with a lost fumble along the way. While still a flawed player and clearly the team's No. 3 wide receiver, Adams could find the end zone with surprising frequency, particularly if Aaron Rodgers eventually regains his top form.

Adams caught two passes for 23 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's victory over the Lions.

Analysis: Adams made a quick impact on Sunday afternoon, reaching the end zone for the second time this season on a 14-yard reception less than four minutes into the game. However, his production and opportunities were minimal after that, as he was targeted just once more and was on the field for only 25 plays in all, according to Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com. That meant Adams was on the field just 46 percent of the time Sunday after playing over 83 percent of the snaps coming in. In somewhat of a surprise,…read more

Adams caught three of seven targets for 26 yards in the Packers' 17-14 loss to the Vikings on Sunday.

Analysis: Adams' stat line could have looked much prettier had he not been the victim of multiple pass interference penalties, including one in the end zone off a bomb from QB Aaron Rodgers. Furthermore, the entire Packers offense appear out of sync, leading to depressed stat lines across the board for Green Bay skill position players. Fortunately, Adams and the rest of his team will have a chance to improve next week against the Lions.

Adams caught three passes for 50 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's victory over the Jaguars.

Analysis: Adams and fellow receiver Jared Abbrederis were both possibilities to open the season as the Packers' third receiver, but Adams clearly filled the role in Week 1, as he outpaced Abbrederis in every fantasy category, as well as total snaps (59 to 14) and targets (seven to one). Consistency has not been one of Adams' strengths, and that could remain an issue in his non-starting role.

Adams is listed as a second-string wide receiver on the Packers' depth chart in advance of Week 1.

Analysis: Adams started 12 of the 13 games he appeared in last year with Jordy Nelson out for the season, but he will move back into a reserve role behind a healthy Nelson and Randall Cobb as the 2016 season gets underway. Fellow receiver Jared Abbrederis is also listed as a second-string wide receiver, and it's not entirely clear who will get the first shot in three-receiver sets during the regular season.

Adams caught one pass for eight yards on four targets in Friday's preseason game against the 49ers.

Analysis: Adams was outplayed by Jared Abbrederis, who caught all three of his targets for 25 yards and a touchdown, albeit with none of the passes coming from Aaron Rodgers' hand. Abbrederis did draw an illegal contact penalty on Green Bay's opening drive, while Adams had a 48-yard gain wiped out by an offensive pass interference penalty just two snaps later. Meanwhile, Jordy Nelson (knee) was once again held out, allowing Trevor Davis and Ty Montgomery to get work with the first-team offense, joining…read more

Adams caught two passes for 37 yards on three targets in Thursday's preseason game against Oakland.

Analysis: With Jeff Janis (hand) out for 4-6 weeks, the No. 3 wideout competition may be down to Adams and Jared Abbrederis, who caught just one pass for three yards in Thursday's game. Given his experience and second-round draft pedigree (2014), Adams is the favorite to win out despite having turned in an ugly 2015 campaign. The battle is still worth watching, as Aaron Rodgers may actually see playing time in the next preseason game, giving Adams and Abbrederis their best chance yet to make an…read more

While Jordy Nelson and Randall Cobb continue to top the Packers' wideout depth chart, Adams is in line to jostle with the likes of Jared Abbrederis, Ty Montgomery, Jeff Janis and draftee Trevor Davis for slotting behind the team's top duo, the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reports.

Analysis: With Ed Williams and Jamel Johnson also in the depth mix, wideout is a crowded position for the Packers at this stage. The fact that Adams was a second-round draft pick in 2014 makes it likely that he'll stick around after last cuts, but either way, between the return to health of Nelson and all the competition at wideout, Adams could be hard-pressed to match the 50-catch output he turned in over 13 games in 2015.

Davante Adams: Ruled out by Packers

Adams (knee) has been ruled out of Saturday's game against the Cardinals, ESPN's Rob Demovsky reports.

Analysis: Adams was considered unlikely to play after suffering an MCL injury last weekend, so Friday's news confirms he'll be unavailable Saturday. Although he struggled for most of this season, Adams' absence leaves the Packers' receiving corp a bit thin against Arizona's deep and talented secondary, but Jared Abbrederis and Jeff Janis are the most likely candidates to see more playing time.

Packers head coach Mike McCarthy said Adams (knee) needs to practice Friday to have a shot at playing in Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

Analysis: Adams will miss another practice Thursday, after suffering an MCL injury during Sunday's win over the Redskins. Although the Packers aren't officially ruling him out, there's been nothing to suggest that Adams has a real shot of playing. It thus seems Jared Abbrederis will take over as the No. 3 wide receiver, with Jeff Janis potentially also handling some snaps.

Davante Adams: No practice Wednesday

Adams (knee) won't take part in Wednesday's practice, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Analysis: Although Adams sidestepped a significant injury Sunday at Washington, he's tending to an MCL issue that is expected to hold him out of Saturday's matchup in Arizona. If the preceding holds up, Jared Abbrederis would benefit from the targets available due to Adams' absence.

Adams (knee) has been diagnosed with an MCL injury, making him unlikely to play in Saturday's divisional round playoff game against the Cardinals, ESPN.com reports.

Davante Adams: Avoids major knee injury

Initial tests conducted on Adams following Sunday's 35-18 win over the Redskins suggested that the receiver avoided a major knee injury, but his status for Saturday's divisional game against the Cardinals remains a question mark, ESPN.com's Rob Demovsky reports.

Analysis: Adams sustained the injury in the third quarter of Sunday's game when tight end Richard Rodgers landed on top of him after a reception. While Adams was able to walk back to the Packers' sideline, he wasn't able to put much weight on the leg and was ruled out for the remainder of the contest.

Adams hauled in all four his targets for 48 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 35-18 win over the Redskins, but departed in the third quarter with a right knee injury, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Analysis: Adams has been maligned for his drops for much of the season, but he showed good hands Sunday, and reached the end zone for the first time since Dec. 3 against the Lions. However, his outing came to an early end in the third quarter, when it appeared that teammate Richard Rodgers fell on Adams' leg.

Analysis: Adams struggled to post useful fantasy numbers for much of the 2015 season, but he showed signs of life over the last two weeks of the regular season with seven receptions for 96 yards. However, even those per-game averages were disappointing for a guy a lot of fantasy owners expected to step into a prominent role in the Packers' offense with Jordy Nelson (knee) out for the season.

Adams caught three passes for 42 yards in Sunday's loss to the Cardinals.

Analysis: Adams had the Packers' longest play of the day with a 38-yard reception, but he failed to do much of anything else the rest of the game. The 42 yards he tallied Sunday were his most in a game since Week 10, so he heads into Week 17 without any momentum.

Adams caught five passes for 32 yards in Sunday's victory over the Raiders.

Analysis: Adams could have had a bigger day had he come down with a pass in the end zone in the third quarter; but alas, he was unable to make the catch, and provided minimal fantasy production for the fourth time in five weeks. A sign of Adams' lack of productivity: He has not caught a pass longer than eight yards since the Packers' Week 11 victory over the Vikings.

Adams (foot) is active for Sunday's game in Oakland, Duke Bobber of the Packers' official site reports.

Analysis: Once the Packers upgraded Adams to probable Saturday, he was cleared to resume his wavering role in the passing attack. After a five-game stretch in which he racked up a whopping 54 targets -- but just 26 catches for 243 yards and one touchdown -- he fell back to earth with head coach Mike McCarthy resuming play-calling duties last Sunday, earning just three looks.

Adams (foot) has been upgraded to probable for Sunday's game against the Raiders.

Analysis: Adams was limited in practice Thursday and Friday, so there was some initial concern the second-year wideout might not be able to suit up against the Raiders. That fear was effectively put to rest after Packers' officials bumped his status to probable, but he's been too inconsistent thus far to warrant any optimism, even against a less-than-average Raiders' secondary.

Davante Adams: Listed as questionable

Adams (foot) is listed as questinoable for Sunday's game in Oakland.

Analysis: A mid-week addition to the injury report, Adams was a limited practice participant both Thursday and Friday. With Ty Montgomery (ankle) already ruled out, Jared Abbrederis (or possibly Jeff Janis) will play in three-wide sets if Adams isn't active for Sunday's game. Even if he plays, Adams hasn't provided any reason for optimism, falling shy of 40 yards in each of his last four games.

Analysis: Adams' value was already in free fall after he received just three targets with head coach Mike McCarthy handling play-calling duties Sunday for the first time this season. With a foot injury in tow, he's dealing with the second concern to his lower extremities -- also, an ankle issue forced three absences earlier this season -- pushing him down the WR pecking order. Nevertheless, owners should keep an eye on his status as Sunday's contest in Oakland draws closer.

Adams caught two passes for 12 yards in Sunday's victory over the Cowboys.

Analysis: Adams totaled 53 targets in the five games prior to Sunday's, but he saw just three passes come his way in Week 14, as the Packers leaned on the running game. Despite the high volume of targets of late, Adams tallied just 83 receiving yards over the last four weeks, so he will be tough to trust when setting lineups for playoff matchups this week.

Adams had four receptions for 21 yards and a touchdown on seven targets in Thursday's 27-23 win over the Lions.

Analysis: It took him nearly 60 targets, but Adams finally got his first touchdown of the season. He otherwise had an unimpressive game, dropping one pass and only getting visibly open a couple times. His target totals and quarterback situation remain intriguing, but the lack of production is increasingly difficult to ignore. On a more positive note, Adams did play nearly all of the offensive snaps, which has become the norm when he's healthy. He'll face the Cowboys in Week 14.

Adams brought in 2 receptions for 14 yards on Thanksgiving.

Analysis: Adams had a handful of drops to go along with his two receptions, and also appeared to stop early on a route, which led to a rare Aaron Rodgers interception in Lambeau. Weather certainly played a factor, as it was a cold rainy night in Green Bay. Adams will look to rebound next week in Detroit.

Adams (ankle) is listed as active Thursday against the Bears.

Analysis: Adams hasn't reached pay dirt in an injury-plagued second season, and damp conditions along with a tougher Bears pass defense of late (12.8 YPC and three touchdowns allowed to WR over the last four games) may not help his cause.

Davante Adams: Probable for Thursday

Adams (ankle) is listed as probable for Thursday's game versus the Bears, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: After back-to-back limited practices to begin the week, Adams was unhinged in drills Wednesday, signaling that he's ready to roll in Week 12. However, he'll face a Chicago secondary that has tightened up over the last four games, surrendering 12.8 YPC and three touchdowns to wide receivers.

Davante Adams: Limited Tuesday with ankle issue

Analysis: Adams struggled with the ankle injury during Sunday's win over the Vikings, yet he still managed to play the vast majority of offensive snaps, finishing with three catches for 36 yards on three targets. It was one of his more efficient showings this season, but owners were likely disappointed, after Adams piled up a ridiculous 32 targets over the previous two games. He's clearly a big part of the Green Bay passing game when healthy, but the two-week target total was extremely inflated by game…read more

Davante Adams: Limited Monday with ankle issue

Analysis: Per the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, Adams "was in and out" of Sunday's game against the Vikings "with what appeared to be a recurring ankle injury." While we suspect that Adams will tough things out this week, his status is still worth tracking in advance of Thursday night's game against the Bears.

Adams caught three passes for 36 yards in Sunday's victory over the Vikings.

Analysis: No Packers receiver besides James Jones was able to get much going Sunday, but Adams' effectiveness may have been limited after he tweaked his left ankle -- the same one that was injured earlier this season -- during the contest. Adams was able to return to and finish Sunday's game, but it remains to be seen if he will be slowed by the injury at all this week, and he will have just a few days to rest and recover with the Packers playing on Thursday night against the Bears.

Adams hauled in 10 catches on 21 targets for 79 yards in Sunday's loss to Detroit.

Analysis: After battling through injuries and inconsistency to start the season, Adams has nabbed 17 catches off of 32 targets over the past two weeks, a level of exposure far closer to what many fantasy owners were imagining while pegging Adams as a draft-day sleeper in the wake of Jordy Nelson's season-ending injury in the preseason. The second-year receiver has yet to find the end zone this season, but it'd be fair to expect Adams to continue to be featured prominently in the Packers' passing offense…read more

Adams caught seven of his 11 targets for 93 yards in Sunday's game against the Panthers. He also caught a two-point conversion in the 37-29 loss.

Analysis: Now fully healthy following a lengthy absence, Adams put up his strongest performance of the season on Sunday, pacing the team in catches and finishing second in targets and yards. Adams should continue to see heavy involvement in the passing attack moving forward, and performances like this should become regular occurrences. The Packers will host the Lions in Week 10.

Adams returned from an ankle injury to catch just one pass for nine yard on two targets in Sunday's 29-10 loss to the Broncos.

Analysis: Adams looked healthy and played a full complement of snaps in his first action since Week 3, but the dreadful matchup was just too much to overcome. Aaron Rodgers completed 14 of 22 passes for a career-low 77 yards, with only Randall Cobb topping two receptions or four targets. The Packers will face another excellent pass defense when they travel to Carolina in Week 9, though even the Panthers aren't close to the Broncos' level of defensive dominance.

Adams (ankle) is active for Sunday's game in Denver, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Analysis: After missing three consecutive games prior to Green Bay's Week 7 bye, Adams logged a full practice Friday and was listed as probable on the final injury report. He figures to play the majority of snaps, working alongside Randall Cobb and James Jones.
